<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure the cooling capability of en electricity storage mechanism in a cooling device for cooling the electricity storage mechanism by air in the interior of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: The cooling device cools a battery 10 by sending the air in the interior of the vehicle air-conditioned by an air-conditioner 20 to the battery 10. When the air-conditioner 20 is operated in an internal air circulation mode, air subject heat exchange with the battery 10 is released outside the vehicle and is returned to the interior 110 of the vehicle partially via a luggage room 114 and a ventilating opening 36. When the air-conditioner 20 is operated in the internal air circulation mode, a battery ECU50 blocks a portion adjacent to an inlet 30 in the ventilating opening 36 so that direct intake of air that is released in the interior 110 of the vehicle from the ventilating opening 36 and is subjected to heat exchange with the battery 10 from the inlet 30 is suppressed if the battery temperature Tb exceeds a prescribed temperature threshold Tb_std. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
